The jumpers are not labeled on hard drive

\015 I want to add a hard drive as a slave. The jumpers are not labeled on the new hard drive. It is an HP P/N P6080-60101, 40 gig\015

Answers :

If the sticker is not on the top showing where the jumper pin goes, you can do an online search for the make and model of the hard drive. A "new" hard drive usually comes with a booklet giving you specs on it. Otherwise, it will be a process of elimination of moving the jumper from one set of pins to next until your computer recognizes it as a slave. This will require shutting down and unplugging your computer, moving the pin, and restarting. Hope this helps you.
